What a beauty from Broad.

Fantastic ball. Unplayable.



This is becoming more and more embarrassing for Stokes and Woakes, though!

They both had a bad spell. Their next one will be better. I imagine they're both seething.

Who is this other umpire? Absolutely shocking.

In hindsight, I think Paine has been done by DRS there. Ball was doing waaaay more.

Fast-track Archer is my advice. Change the bleedin' rules and get him in!

I thank you.

Mind you, we could do with getting Anderson back so he doesn't have to bowl too many overs.

Not sure Cummings hit that, something didn’t seem quite right to me?? Oh well ?

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

You love to see it

That's the sort of delivery I've been thinking we should send down at Smith first up, especially as he walks across so far. Always takes them by surprise.

Job done. Well done Archer .

 

[SteveH]

how did we get away with that!
a good end to the day

We gonna win

ps Labuschagne - best surname ever

 

[mpickard2087]

Even in helpful bowling conditions, Aussies went pretty much 40/8 there - that is a collapse. As I said before the series started, what will decide each match will be the batting meltdowns and who does least worst. Lets see how we do tomorrow, hope the sun comes out......

Archer at 18/1 for Sports Personality seems worth a punt.

18/1 with Ladbrokes

Edit: They've now dropped him to 5/1.

Archer spent the entire day yesterday worrying about not being able to play Fortnite in his hotel for the duration of the test.

He goes out today and takes a 6fer for England in an Ashes test match.

Elite mentality.

Think the world and his wife has had the same thought...

Archer right now:

Labuschagne has the most Australian face ever.
Did we assume the non-ability to get Smith out when they replaced him like-for-like
